It is a shame but hopefully the clubs can agree a fee quickly and at least of some benefit to ECFC as we know the panels take about 10 years to decide. I wonder how much the club value Ben at. but this will help short term financially.
Did you leave the match early, in order to get to the bar first, and miss his cameo ? Shirley not ?
Turned down a pro contract apparently. Wonder what pittance we'll get?

Just hope the thread dies out after the pittance is received ,I’ve lost interest already
All three players waited for their scholarships to end, which meant they were old enough for us to offer them pro contracts. They could have signed for anyone earlier, in which case we'd have got the standard EPPP compensation, which equates to a bag of crisps and a mars bar. By waiting we are able to negotiate a fee, or go to a tribunal. It' not the players fault and if they want to move to bigger and better Clubs, good luck to them; they deserve a chance and we absolutely should not stand in their way. I blame the big clubs who repeatedly refuse to throw larger crumbs to the likes of us, yet sell mediocre players to each other for tens of millions.
And if they've got that much to spend then Chrisene ain't gonna get much game time.don’t mind a young lad aiming high and securing money but this is what annoys me...
